Chronic eosinophilic leukemia (CEL) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm characterized by the FIP1L1-PDGFRA fusion gene, variant PDGFRA fusions or other genetic lesions. Most FIP1L1-PDGFRA positive patients enjoy durable and complete molecular responses to low-dose imatinib (Glivec/Gleevec). However, resistance mediated by a T674I mutation in the ATP-binding pocket of PDGFRA has been reported in advanced...
